Red-veined Darter info

[See Adey's post]

These are the third and fourth individuals to be recorded in the county:

2002: Huncote Embankment, 19th June (Adey Baker)
2002: Kelham Bridge, 3rd-4th July (Ian Merrill, Graham Finch)
2006: 2, Huncote Embankment, 3rd September (Carl Baggott, Adey Baker)

There seems to be a theme... whilst credit for the find duly goes to Carl, Adey was on the ball again at the same site where, four years previously, he found the county's first. The other two records were mid-June and early July, so this rather increases the flight period in the county.

As Adey's photos show, the blue undersides to the eyes are a great feature to look for when checking (as I'm sure you all do) the local Common and Ruddies.
